Summary
The dam, completed in 1940, serves primarily for recreational purposes and stands at a height of 15 feet with a length of 700 feet. The reservoir has a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 6 acres. Despite its low hazard potential, the risk assessment for Honor Heights indicates a very high risk level.
The dam is constructed primarily of earth and stone materials, with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. While the facility is regulated and inspected by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, it has not been rated for its current condition. The last inspection took place in 2004, with a frequency of every 5 years. In the event of an emergency, the dam has not had an Emergency Action Plan prepared, and there are no inundation maps available.
Overall, Honor Heights offers a scenic and recreational water resource for the local community in Muskogee. However, the high risk assessment underscores the importance of regular inspections and emergency preparedness measures to ensure the safety and sustainability of the dam and reservoir for future generations.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
